A new series of solid solutions Dy2-xGdxMo4O15 (x = 0.0-0.9) were prepared. These compounds all crystallize in monoclinic structure with space group P21/c. The lattice parameters a, b, c and unit cell volumes V increase almost linearly with increasing gadolinium content. The intrinsic thermal expansion coefficients of Dy2-xGdxMo4O15 (x = 0.0 and 0.25) were obtained in the temperature range of 25 to 500°C with high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The correlation between thermal expansion and crystal structure was discussed.

The iron and zinc calcium oxysulfides Ca3Fe4S3O6, CaFeSO and CaZnSO are synthesized by reacting mixtures of CaO and FeS or of CaO and ZnS in an inert atmosphere. Their elemental compositions and lattice parameters are determined by X-ray microanalysis and X-ray diffraction. From the temperature-dependent lattice parameters of oxysulfides (measured up to 1170K) their thermal expansion coefficients are evaluated. Oxidation Ca3Fe4S3O6 and CaZnSO are studied by thermogravimetric analysis when air heated. Oxidation speed temperature coefficients showing that process limiting stage is diffusion are determined.

The addition of CaO to Li2O–Al2O3–SiO2–TiO2(LAST), forming the Li2O–CaO–Al2O3–SiO2–TiO2(LCAST) system, is used in the preparation of low themal expansion coefficient glass-ceramics. By a progressive weight percent substitution of CaO for SiO2, at constant ratios of concentration of Li2O, Al2O3, and TiO2, a number of properties of these glasses have been studied. The results indicated that these thermal properties increased progressively with increasing CaO concentration. X-ray diffraction analysis was utilized to identify the crystalline phase in glass-ceramics of the Li2O–CaO–Al2O3–SiO2-TiO2system. Thed-spacings of the major crystallites were precisely measured and fitted with those of β-spodumene. The minor crystalline phase of titanite, CaO · TiO2· SiO2, was also present. The average thermal expansion coefficients from 25 to 700 °C were 3.50 × 10−6/°C, 3.81 × 10−6/°C, and 3.91 × 10−6/°C for samples A, B, and C, respectively.

Variable-temperature high-resolution capillary-mode powder X-ray diffraction is used to assess changes in unit-cell dimensions as a function of temperature over the range 188–328 K. No evidence was found for any polymorphic transformations over this temperature range and thermal expansion coefficients for urea were found to be αa= (5.27 ± 0.26) × 10−5 K−1and αc= (1.14 ± 0.057) × 10−5 K−1.

AbstractThe structure of hibonite from Myanmar (space group P63/mmc, Z = 2, at room temperature a = 5.5909(1), c = 21.9893(4) Å), with simplified formula CaAl12O19 and composition (Ca0.99Na0.01)Σ1.00 was investigated between temperatures of 100 K and 923 K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Structure refinements have been performed at 100, 296, 473 and 923 K. In hibonite from Myanmar, Ti substitutes for Al mainly at the octahedral Al4 site and, to a lesser degree, at the trigonal bipyramidal site, Al2. The Al4 octahedra build face-sharing dimers. If Ti4+ substitutes at Al4, adjacent cations repulse each other for electrostatic reasons, leading to off-centre cation displacement associated with significant bond-length distortion compared to synthetic (Ti-free) CaAl12O19. Most Mg and smaller proportions of Zn and Si are assigned to the tetrahedral Al3 site. 12-coordinated Ca in hibonite replaces oxygen in a closest-packed layer. However, Ca is actually too small for this site and engages in a ‘rattling-type’ motion with increasing temperature. For this reason, Ca does not significantly increase thermal expansion coefficients of hibonite. The expansion of natural Ti,Mg-rich hibonite between 296 and 923 K along the x and the z axes is αa = 7.64×10–6 K–1 and αc = 11.19×10–6 K–1, respectively, and is thus very similar to isotypic, synthetic CaAl12O19 and LaMgAl11O19 (LMA).

Phase transformation of the Zr-1.0Sn-0.39Nb-0.31Fe-0.05Cr alloy was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results revealed that the alloy contained two precipitates at room temperature, namely β-Nb and hexagonal Zr(Nb,Fe,Cr,)2. β-Nb was suggested to dissolve into the α-Zr matrix at the 580oC. Thin oxide film formed at the alloy’s surface was identified as mixture of the monoclinic Zr0.93O2and tetragonal ZrO2, when the temperature reached to 750oC and 850 oC. The thermal expansion coefficients of αZr in this alloy was of αa = 8.39×10-6/°C, αc = 2.48×10-6/°C.
